Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits the atmosphere at Old Trafford is an advantage to them.
Fergie hailed Old Trafford for helping to inspire his players.
"It's an absolutely beautiful stadium and it's always retained its magical atmosphere," he said. "They way it is now is the image of the ground I had in my mind when I first joined the club - it has changed so much since I first arrived.
"A lot of stadiums that have been built over the last 40 years or so, particularly the grounds that have running tracks around them where the crowd is far away from the pitch, aren't real football stadiums to me.
"Old Trafford and most English grounds have that great atmosphere because the fans are very close to the action. I'm very proud that Old Trafford is such a special place."
